Micron Exceeds Earnings Expectations with Strong Q4 Results
Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) reported strong fiscal fourth-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations, posting non-GAAP earnings per share of $33.42 and revenue of $54.23 billion. The company also provided upbeat guidance for the current quarter with projected revenue of $61.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $38.15—well above Wall Street estimates. These results have already driven gains in Micron's stock price, suggesting a positive outlook ahead. Another key development is that on Dec. 9, restrictions preventing Micron from repurchasing its shares under the CHIPS Act will expire. The company has indicated it plans to return all excess cash to shareholders through buybacks and dividends once this restriction lifts. With $68.3 billion in net cash available for such returns, investors are anticipating a significant boost in shareholder value. The combination of strong earnings performance, positive forward guidance, and the potential resumption of aggressive share repurchases positions Micron well for continued stock price appreciation through 2027.
